I have one with just a coin slot as part of my narrow-sparrow breeding project.

we had a cow scull on our back porch that a small bird used as a nest. the nest with actually inside where the brain would be, and the little bird would pop in and out of the whole where the spinal chord exited the scull.

it was quite cool to see
